Hyperbyte, I know Lidl imports from Germany. At first here in Finland they had only German origin products, but people didn't like them. Now almost all meat and milk products are locals, everything else is still imported.

dgroos, what you really want, is what alkisg is suggesting, and that's FreeNX. But it won't actually 'boot' your machine at home, you'll have to boot some OS that can launch the FreeNX client and connect to your LTSP server

12:36

<dgroos>

I do have openNX access already to the server.

12:37

<alkisg>

Why would you want ltsp (and not just an NX connection) over the web?

12:37

<dgroos>

What I want to see is how the menu's load on a fat client. I'm trying to remove some menu items and need to test it.

12:38

<alkisg>

You can use nx to connect, and then vbox to load a fake fat client

12:38

It'll be much faster

12:38

<dgroos>

OK...

12:39

xbox is like busybox I'd guess? I did use that one time...

12:39

<alkisg>

vbox == virtualbox

12:39

<Hyperbyte>

xbox is a gaming system from Microsoft.

12:39

<alkisg>

Something like vmware if you heard it

12:39

<dgroos>

*vbox :)

12:39

<Hyperbyte>

;-)

12:41

<dgroos>

I load virtualbox?

12:41

<alkisg>

Yes, download it from there and install it in your ltsp server

12:41

Then download and install the extensions from the same page

12:42

Then create a client, give it e.g. 512 MB RAM so that it's a fat client, and go to its system settings, and select network boot first

12:42

<Hyperbyte>

Basically you'll be booting a virtual thin client inside a virtual machine on a virtual desktop running on an LTSP server. =)

12:42

<alkisg>

When prompted to create a virtual hard disk for the client, select no.

12:44

<dgroos>

Great! I'll give this a go after I look at some Eglaish translitionz later this monring. ;)

12:44

Thanks Hyperbyte and alkisg

Hello! I was using a older version of LTSP 5 and I had changed the branding of LDM, but now with the last version I don't see the two .png that I cahanged, can you tell me the way to change LDM branding now? I have to use LDM themes? Thanks in advance.

txor: you're using opensuse?

16:28

those instructions are definitely specific to opensuse.

16:31

<ichat>

could any one get me some pointers: what i would like to achieve is boot a client check the installed chroot, against an nfs export of one, if a match boot it if not download the one from the server an continue booting

16:32

this local boot would be on an ide flash card

16:34

<txor>

Ops! Yes I'm using openSUSE, I forgot to mention it... :s

16:37

<vagrantc>

with opensuse, all bets are off. they don't kiwi-ltsp is an ltsp-like environment that uses some ltsp software, but pretty much does almost everything differently

Nubae: i'm not saying that kiwi-ltsp is a bad thing, it's just difficult to support because everything is done so differently from other distros.

18:29

difficult to support for people familiar with ltsp but not the specifics of kiwi-ltsp

18:30

as often as not, the upstream recommended way of doing something is done completely differently with kiwi-ltsp ... this is not inherrently wrong or bad, and like you say, some of it might even be improvements

18:31

but it's also done in a way with little to no hope of merging those improvements upstream.

just been keeping pace with the relatively slow developments in LTSP, and picking up a few more debian packages to maintain, really.

18:52

Nubae: i've largely been getting increasingly interested in the rather broken Certificate Authority system, and worked on packaging perspectives and convergence for debian as hopeful alternatives ... though my heart is with monkeysphere.
